Victoria Jackson Has New Career As Hate Monger

For the second time in as many weeks, the former SNL alum, and do nothing since that horrible movie with Lea Thompson and Andrew Dice Clay, Victoria Jackson has managed to tick off a huge number of people. Last week she went on a rant about Glee and the same sex kiss that Chris Colfer and Darren Criss shared on the show. Because she is usually going to say something controversial, Victoria was invited on CNN to discuss her comments and managed to tick off all the Muslims in the world.

She said that the Muslim-Americans in this country are plotting to take us all down and does not understand why people, especially the media are nice to Muslims. “I just want to know why the liberals are pro-Muslim and pro-gay,” she said. “Muslims kill gays. That's what's confusing to me. And the only thing I can come up with is the Muslims hate God and the gays hate his word.”

The only thing confusing is her argument because it does not make any sense. I do see a career for her as Dennis Miller's sidekick.

I don't care for this woman, but why bring Dennis Miller into this? What did he do?

And while what she supposedly said doesn't make sense, she does have a point about the Muslim community as a whole not doing enough to condemn the atrocities that Muslims throughout the world do-and that includes the persecution of women, gays and non-Muslim people, particularly the Jews.

Sorry, not politically correct, but I am not alone in feeling this way and becoming increasingly frustrated by it.

Not all White People are White Trash nor are all Muslims Extremist. I have no use for Extremists of any kind and no use for anyone that would murder or physically harm women, children or anyone Gay, Lesbian or Transgendered in the name of their "beliefs". Free Speech and Opinions are one thing, physical harm is something else. Nut jobs with scary opinions are everywhere I am afraid, especially on the Fox News Network. Gag. : (

Ice Angel, there are many Christians who don't behave in a so called Christian manner either so it's not just Muslims who are like this. I have noticed a certain biased towards Muslims though by the media and I suspect it's because they don't want to be accused as being racist or bigoted. Personally, I think it sends an even worse negative message that you and I have detected which is way worse than calling a spade a spade. As for normal Muslims not speaking out against the radicals I believe there is also the fear factor, who wants to call out a radical and then end up getting their car blown up? Can't blame anyone for pussy footing around extremists.

Is it just me or has the writing taken a turn for the worse around here? I am finding a lot of the posts poorly written and/or oddly worded. I am not trying to be a jerk, just wondering if others have noticed it… I could take or leave the random photos, so I don't miss them, but the posts themselves have left a lot to be desired. Eh.

We had a speaker at my uni last semester who spoke about Islamaphobia- and it was such an eye opener.American govt supports some of the most radical evil people who happen to preach their version of Muslim values which include anti-gay and anti-women's rights.There are SOOO many Muslims who do not agree with this sect of the religion- which has been created much more recently than the original Muslim religion which used includes having some of the first women in power.Muslims are also denied their voices in the media- often after 9/11 riots or attitudes about Muslims were happening and yet to this day reporters often dont ask the Muslim community about this. As for Glee— I defy anyone to watch that tiny segment and feel anything negative. It was a simple thing about 2 people realizing they had found love right in front of their faces and admiting it. For this woman to see the bad in this situation, for this woman to ignorantly cast aside the vast history of the Muslim people who have in some cases paved the way for women rights… fuck her

Hey Nancer-how many fundamentalist Christian groups have enganged in funded terrorism. Now I am not talking about lunatic fringe crackpots working on their own. I am talking about the ones funded, backed and supported by they local mosques.

And the organized Christian religious organizations that I know, such as Catholics, Lutherans, Methodist, etc…have all spoken out against them for their despicable and cowardly acts. Not quietly funded and/or privately condoned them.

The difference is that the Muslim extremists have hijacked the faith and the regular Muslims have allowed it to continue. You are walking around with blinders on if you truly believe that Christian extremists (and who are they anyway???) are worse than the Muslim extremists!

I would love to see some links to support all of these Christian extremists carrying out horrific terrorist acts.

@Jasmine-OK…so you are correct…Muslim women have a lot of rights and power….let's go talk to some on the streets of some of these theocracies as they walk around in their black burkas in the middle of the desert.

@Jasmine. Thanks for the link. I did look at it and although I don't see PBS as necessarily a bi-partisan unbiased source, I'll take it. That said, it discusses the difference between culture and religion. But in most of those 3rd world Muslim countries, the religion IS the culture. They are theocracies! And those that use Sharia laws, i.e. the Taliban, think nothing of stoning women to death for adultry.

Women and children have very little rights in these countries.

But the bottom line is that everyone is afraid of them and they are afraid of each other. It a culture of fear. It is their product. They wish to place fear in others and guess what…it is working! So when someone stands up and calls them out on it, they become the "fear-monger." Really? Then call me afraid…because as soon as they are able, they WILL blow up the entire planet if given the opportunity. FACT.

Ice Angel, what about the church that protests at military funerals? How about the church/pastor that decided to announce that he was going to burn the Koran? How about the churches that fund the abortion doctor killings and the blowing up of abortion clinics? And Catholics? they have quietly supported and funded the most terrifying crackpots of all….the pedophile priests. I don't see any difference between Christians and Muslims and Jews. They all have their nutcase extremists and they all have a majority of peaceful followers. I have many Muslim friends and they were as horrified as I was to hear about the OK City bombing and 9/11. They cried when their loved ones were lost. Just because you don't agree with them and they don't behave as YOU expect them to, doesn't make them wrong.

I'm with you, Jasmine. It upsets me that a few extremists are taken as representatives of the entire muslim faith. I'm also with bluebonnetmom, extremists of ANY faith freak me out and are dangerous.@Jamie's Girl – "muslims are taking over the world"?? That's the most unsupported, fear-mongering statement I've heard all day.

Christian Extremists = those who bomb abortion clinics or kill people that work in those clinics who do it in the name of God. Christian Extremists = missionaries who felt the need to convert indigenous peoples to Christianity.Christian Extremists = those who participated and encouraged Nazi Germany.

My boyfriend of 3 years is Muslim. I have to be honest, they do think very differently than Americans.

The Mulsim religion isn't just a religion…it's a way of life. It's a very strict and controling way of life. Some more so than other, but overall…it's strict, fight it all you want. My boyfriend wants to marry me, but only if I convert and promise to raise my children muslim. I'm catholic and I refuse and will never raise my children Muslim. I personally do not like the religion at all. It's not the religion necessarily, it's the way you have to live your life day to day. He is the nicest guy that you could ever meet, but he does say that the Muslim religion is the right way and should be the main religion of the world. His family and friends all have the same views.

As for Jasmine…I disagree with you completely. Sorry. don't care what article you bring to the table. You are completely wrong. Women in the Islmic world do not have the freedoms and have not paved the way for women's rights. In the arabic world, women are not equals.

@ Cindy – As a Pro-Choice Christian Woman, I Absoulutely do not support any of what you have listed above. Believe me, I would march in the streets and picket all of this. I would consider all of this extreme, fringe behavior by nuts that don't have a clue about what Christianity is. Do Muslim Extremists scare me? You bet they do because they think I am a Infidel and want me dead. It is shame what is done in the name of "religion".

@ Cindy. I'm curious if you or any American here (especially a female) would walk down the streets of Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran or Lybia by yourself/themselves and feel completely safe and comfortable. Keep in mind, these are 90 – 100% Muslim countries. Would you feel as comfortable or uncomfortable walking down the street of Vadican City?

@crila16 – appreciate your viewpoint very much, but to be fair, adherents of MOST religions believe their religion is the right way and should be the main religion of the world. That's the thing about religions – they're right and everybody else is wrong.

As a gay Muslim, I am extremely saddened and offended by Jackon's comments (I enjoyed her performance in an episode of the X-Files,) and by the general ignorance and misinformation out there about Islam and American Muslims.

He was amazing to me at the beginning. I didn't realize the religion would eventually become a problem, because he wasn't a strict Muslim…or so I thought. It only started becoming a problem in the last year, and we have had our fights and broken up and gotten back together. He's become a bit more controling and possessive, where he was never like that before. he's also my neighbor, so breaking up is a bit difficult.

@crila16, yes, he's in America. Obviously, fundamentalists in fundamentalists countries act differently. If the far-right denizens of Mississippi had their way and took over the US, women couldn't walk down the street without an escort, without some jackass feeling entitled to rape her. My gay sister doesn't dare walk down any street in the rural south.

I don't care for this woman, but why bring Dennis Miller into this? What did he do?

To answer your question, Ice Angel, Dennis Miller was well-known for his snarky comedic style and verrry left-leaning political jabs back around the time when he was at his peak on SNL hosting the Weekend Update. After 9/11, he had a personal–almost, one might say, religious–"conversion" to becoming a conservative talking head (mostly because of his support of the U.S.'s invasion of Iraq), and that is the viewpoint he put forth on his HBO talk show. I have heard him talk quite passionately about why he felt 9/11 was a crystallizing event for him that led to a complete 180-degree turn in his political views, but I can also see why some would consider him to be a "sell-out" With his switch–which he considers to be toward Libertarianism more than anything else–he said/did what many people would have found popular right at that time, and he kept right on gettin' paid.

I always thought her schtick on SNL was a joke, then I realized she really was a talentless bimbo. I'm just surprised she gets airtime to voice her hateful and narrow minded views. I mean, who the hell is she, anyway, and who gives a rat's ass what this person thinks?

The blanket statement that "Muslims kill gays" is a bizarre slur. I'm gay and I've known literally hundreds of Muslims, none of whom have killed me. If the haters want to say "Extremist authoritarian societies governed by Islam sanction the killing of gay people," that's almost true. It's also true of atheist communist govt's in the 20th century, and it's true of Christian societies in the 19th and 20th century. But "Muslims kill gays" is an ignorant slur, and only ignorant people make it.

For God's sake, I wish people would quit comparing "Muslims to Americans". Islam is a religion, and like Christianity & Judaism blah blah, the differences lie in the CULTURE of the people, not the religion. A Greek Christian is vastly different than a Middle America Christian. I know Muslims from Lebanon, different parts of Africa & Canada, born & bred. They are all extremely different in their cultures and they'll all tell you a different story about women's rights, God & liquor.

Blanket statements about Muslims are as fucking ignorant as this Victoria broad.

Hey, she's gotta pay the bills somehow. Since she doesn't have a discernible talent and apparently thinks she's too good to be a Wal-mart greeter, she's taken to making outrageous statements for attention and some bank. Soon she will release a book. Sadly, many will buy it.

Just thought I'd say greetings to you all from the most populated Muslim country in the world — Indonesia.

And my cleavage is out. (Which it wouldn't be if I were in a mosque — or a Catholic church, for that matter.) Don't think that images of Afghanistan under the Taliban are representative of the modern Muslim world.

I'm really disappointed in a lot of the comments here. As many of you have said already, Islamophobia is a huge problem in America and worldwide, and the extremists in no way represent mainstream Islam.

I would be more upset about this woman's comments except I know that sooner rather than later she's going to have to just deal with it. Gay marriage is already supported by half the population and when you ask the 18-34 year olds that networks care about, most of them either don't care if gays are kissing on the tv screen or are in favor of it happening. So Victoria Jackson, who sucked on SNL and is now sucking at being an effing human being, can froth at the mouth all she likes, and probably make a fair bit of money in the process, but the gay boys and girls aren't going anywhere.

Actually…the most populated Muslim country in the world is Afghanastan, followed by Iran and a few other countries, including my boyfriend's country of Morocco (which is an absolutely beautiful country if you ever get a chance to visit). Indonesia is still only at 88% Muslim.

at crila16 said…Don't know where you are getting your facts, but Indonesia is still home to the most Muslims. Here is a link: http://islam.about.com/od/muslimcountries/a/population.htm It has over 203 million Muslims and Pakistan is second.

My husband is Persian, born in Iran, and he is not Muslim. He is actually Buddhist, but that is another story. His brother is Muslim (married to a Catholic) and his mother is of Jewish decent and his father is atheist, but the family was Zoroastrian(still practiced in Iran today). Outside of Israel, Iran has the most Jews in the Middle East.

Gary, I'm not sure it's a "left" thing…it's kind of a tolerance thing. Treating people with fundamental decency even if they don't tow the line of your own viewpoints… Which is maybe a bit more popular among lefty types (though heaven knows not every leftist/liberal is partic tolerant of opposing views these days!).
